点评:We love Longleat and have visited many times, so we were excited to visit for the Festival of Lights this December.
The park and staff were great as ever and the lanterns/lights were amazing; the theme this year is Wallace & Gromit and friends. My family and I loved the lanterns, characters and Christmas pop up shops.
However, as with many events and attractions these days, the experience was utterly spoilt by the vast crowds of obnoxious people walking and driving around the site; we have visited at both quiet and busy times but out trip on Saturday 6th Dec was something else.
To say it was busy, would be an understatement, we basically queued and shuffled around the entire sit for 7hrs straight; the safari park was basically a traffic jam, with people causing chaos by barging in and blocking the roads.
Hats off to the staff, they worked themselves to a standstill just trying to control crowds.
I get this is a business but why do all attractions now, allow huge numbers of ticket sales?? For the amount we paid as a family of 4, should we at least be able to see the animals and lights, without being pushed and jostled around??
翻译:我们非常喜欢朗利特庄园,去过很多次,所以今年12月的灯光节让我们格外兴奋。
公园和工作人员一如既往地热情周到,灯笼和灯光更是美轮美奂;今年的主题是华莱士和格罗米特以及他们的朋友们。我和家人都非常喜欢这些灯笼、卡通人物和圣诞快闪店。
然而,和如今许多活动和景点一样,这次的体验完全被拥挤不堪、令人厌烦的人群破坏了;我们之前也去过人少的时候,也去过人多的时候,但12月6日星期六的这次经历却截然不同。
说人多都算是轻描淡写了,我们基本上在整个园区里排了7个小时的队,挪来挪去;野生动物园简直就是个交通堵塞区,人们横冲直撞,堵塞道路,造成混乱。
向工作人员致敬,他们为了维持秩序,几乎累得筋疲力尽。
我知道这是生意,但为什么现在所有景点都允许大量售票呢?我们一家四口付了那么多钱,至少应该能够不受推搡拥挤地欣赏动物和灯光吧?
